An R-Rated Magic Show at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino
Las Vegas magic takes a decidedly adult turn at this 75-minute show, where magician Grant Freeman mixes illusions with raunchy stand-up and audience participation. Expect tricks that can take unexpected turns, plus comedy that makes the crowd part of the act.
I like the blend of live magic and adult humor, and I like that the V Theater sits inside Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile, with food and shops close at hand. The main consideration is the R-rated material: this is not a good fit if you want a traditional, family-friendly magic show.
- Grant Freeman works the room: Audience participation is a major part of the show, not a small extra.
- Magic meets adult comedy: Expect classic and modern illusions alongside raunchy stand-up.
- A tidy evening plan: The performance lasts about 1 hour and 15 minutes and begins at 7:00 pm.
- Miracle Mile is right there: Planet Hollywood’s shops and dining options make it easy to plan a meal around the show.
- The $32 ticket covers admission: Seating is in a selected section; beverages are not included unless noted.
Adult magic at Planet Hollywood

An R-Rated Magic Show offers a different kind of Las Vegas night out. Instead of making the magic solemn or mysterious, Grant Freeman uses comedy and audience participation to keep the room lively. The result is part illusion show, part stand-up, with the adult tone built into the act.
The R-rated label is worth taking seriously. The comedy includes raunchy surprises, so this is best suited to adults who enjoy cheeky humor and do not mind being part of the show. If you prefer a polished, quiet performance where you can simply sit back and watch, this may not be your style.
Freeman has toured across the country, and the show combines classic and modern tricks. You can expect the magic to share the spotlight with the jokes rather than serve as a brief pause between them. That mix gives the performance a more informal feel than a straight illusion show.
Finding the V Theater inside Miracle Mile

The venue is the V Theater, inside Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino at 3663 S Las Vegas Blvd, Suite 360. The theater is in the Miracle Mile area, so you can build the show into an evening at Planet Hollywood rather than setting aside time for a separate trip across town.
Your ticket redemption point is the V Theater Box Office. The stated start time is 7:00 pm, and the show lasts about 75 minutes. That makes it a compact evening activity: long enough for a full performance, but not so long that it has to take over the night.
Miracle Mile’s dining and shopping options are useful before or after the show. You can have dinner nearby, browse the shops, or keep the evening simple and head straight to the theater. The choice is yours, but remember that drinks are not included unless your booking says otherwise.

What the 75-minute show is like

The act combines magic with adult-oriented stand-up. Freeman performs illusions, brings audience members into the action, and uses the room’s reactions as part of the comedy. That interaction is a defining feature, so you should be comfortable with the possibility of being addressed or invited to take part.
Audience participation can make a magic show feel less like a stage demonstration and more like a shared night out. It also means the energy of the crowd matters. If you go with friends, you can enjoy the jokes and surprises together, but you should not expect a completely hands-off performance.
The tricks are described as a mix of classic and modern magic, with unexpected turns. The exact illusions are not specified, and it is better to arrive without expecting a particular trick or set piece. The appeal is the combination: Freeman’s magic provides the visual surprises, while his comedy keeps the show moving.
The audience is part of the entertainment

Some people love being pulled into a performance; others prefer to keep their evening low-key. Here, audience interaction is prominent enough to factor into your decision. If you and your companions enjoy spontaneous comedy and do not mind attention, it can add a personal edge to the show.
If you are shy, you can still enjoy the act from your seat, but I would not choose this if your firm preference is to avoid any possibility of interaction. The format relies on the room responding, and that is part of what gives the performance its adult, live-comedy feel.
The show is also a good choice for a group of friends looking for something more unusual than a standard dinner or casino evening. Its short run time helps, too: at roughly 75 minutes, it can fit neatly around other plans without demanding an entire night.
Choosing a seat and handling drinks

Admission is included in the $32 price, with seating in a selected section. The seating choice matters because it sets where you will watch from, so check the section attached to your ticket before booking rather than assuming every ticket offers the same position. One account of the show described a good view from the seats, but that does not guarantee the same seat or sightline for every booking.
If your ticket includes a drink option, check its terms before you arrive. The stated inclusions cover the sales tax on a drink ticket for VIP bookings only; beverages are otherwise not included. One practical tip is to pick up your drink at the bar area before entering the theater, since drinks are not served to you in the room.
There is no need to make the drink part of the plan, of course. If you would rather skip it, the show itself is the main event. Just avoid assuming that the ticket price covers refreshments.

Is $32 good value?

At $32 per person, the ticket buys a full 75-minute performance that combines magic, comedy, and audience participation. That is a reasonable value if you want a live show with more than one kind of entertainment, especially when you can pair it with dinner or shopping at the same resort.
The value depends on your taste. If you enjoy adult humor and interactive comedy, the variety can make the ticket feel like a better use of your evening than a short magic act alone. If you are looking for a serious, illusion-focused performance or do not enjoy raunchy jokes, the same mix may not suit you.
Remember to allow for any drinks or food you plan to buy separately. The ticket includes admission and the box office fee, but beverages are excluded unless noted. VIP bookings have sales tax on a drink ticket included, but that detail should not be mistaken for a drink being included with every ticket.
Plan around the 7:00 pm start

The show begins at 7:00 pm, so I would plan your meal with enough room to reach the V Theater Box Office and redeem your ticket without rushing. Since the theater is in Miracle Mile, you can keep your pre-show plans close by rather than adding a separate destination to the evening.
The experience is often booked around 23 days in advance on average. That is a useful planning clue, not a rule: if the date and seating section matter to you, booking ahead gives you more time to compare available options. Confirmation is provided at booking.
The show is near public transportation, and service animals are allowed. Most people can participate, though the format’s audience interaction may not suit everyone’s idea of a relaxing night. If you have a specific concern about your ability to take part, check the details with the provider before booking.
Who will enjoy this show most

I would recommend the show to adults who want a lively, funny performance and are open to being part of the entertainment. It also makes sense for friends looking for an easy-to-fit evening plan, since the show is relatively short and the shops and restaurants are right nearby.
It is less suited to anyone seeking clean comedy, a family show, or a formal presentation of magic. The adult jokes are central to the experience, not an occasional aside. That distinction is the key booking decision.
The performance has a 5.0 rating from 217 ratings, which is encouraging, but your own taste matters more than a score. Ask yourself whether you want comedy and audience interaction alongside the tricks. If yes, the format is a strong match; if you want magic without the adult edge, choose another show.
Should you book An R-Rated Magic Show?

Book it if you want a short, adult night out where magic, comedy, and audience participation share the stage. Grant Freeman’s mix of tricks and raunchy humor gives the show its character, while the Planet Hollywood location makes dinner or a stroll through Miracle Mile easy to add.
Skip it if you dislike explicit humor or do not want the possibility of being drawn into the act. At $32, it is a fair buy for the right audience, but the R-rated tone is the deciding factor. Choose with that in mind, and the show can make a lively, convenient addition to a Las Vegas evening.
